Faceless // Jaqen H'ghar

Three names

'Boy! Boy! help us!' Jaqen shouted from the cage as they were trapped in, a fire blazed around them getting closer and closer. 'Free us! Free us!' he begged, Arya came running she handed him an ax and he broke free escaping into the night with his two other prisoners.

Jaqen made his way to herrenhal enjoying the Lannister army when he comes across arya again. He figured he could do some good in the name of the many faced God while he was here, although he did miss Sera. He didn't like that he did. Wanting, and missing, it was not a good habit it have in a faceless man but he did all the same.

'A girl says nothing? A girl keeps her mouth closed no one hears.... but her friends may talk in secret yes?' Jaqen asked as arya stood nervously before him. 'A boy becomes a girl.' Jaqen noted with her change of clothes.

'I was always a girl.' she corrected snottily.

'And I was always aware. But a girl keep secrets it is not for a man to spoil them.' Jaqen told her, this girl had attitude like Sera, perhaps it was a high born trait.

'You're one of them now? I should've let you burn!' Arya said handing him off his helmet off the water barrel.

'And you fetch water for one of them now.' he noted, arya had become a cup bearer for Tywin Lannister 'why is this right for you and wrong for me?'

'I didn't have a choice.' Arya sassed

'You did. I did. And here we are.' Jaqen told her simply. 'a man pays his debts a man owes three.'

'Three what?' Arya asked

'A man takes what is his from a lovely girl and only death may pay for life.' Jaqen explained. 'You saved me and the two I was with, you store three deaths from the red god. We have to give them back.' Arya looked at him confused. 'Speak three names and a man will do the rest. Three lives I will give you no more no less.'

'I can name anyone? And you will kill him?' arya questioned hesitantly, it seemed too good to be true.

'A man has said.' he agreed

'The man who tortures everyone.' Arya told him

'A man needs a name.' Jaqen told her

'I don't know his name...' arya said thinking it through, 'they call him the tickler.' She offered

'That is enough.' Jaqen agreed, 'go now girl your master is thirsty.' she walked away with her jug of water, now all she had to do was wait and see if this Jaqen H'ghar would keep his word.

'are you not tired of me kicking your flat ass?' Sera questioned with a laugh. At least her constant fights with a woman kept her mind off the fact that she had no idea where Jaqen was. A woman lunged at her, catching Sera's shoulder as she moved but Sera was used to the pain, the womans punches did not hurt her. not anymore. Tussling back and forth, kicking off walls and into the fountain, the woman held Sera's face under the water. But sera wasn't about to die with this poisoned water of death. She held her breath, kneeing the woman before reaching up and twisting her nipple, Sera kicked her over into the water herself. Sera popped up for air, shaking the water free of her face, panting for breath as the woman rolled out the other side spitting out the water before her.

'you idiocy is going to get us both killed!' sera spat. Shaking herself off. She wasn't dead. That was a start. Jaqen said if she was truly no one the water wouldn't affect her. she didn't want to take that chance just in case. she shed her clothes diving into the clean salt water outside the temple, a woman watched her dive deep under, just as Jaqen did. She didn't come up for what seemed like forever. Perhaps the water had killed her a woman thought as she made her way to the edge looking into the clear waters below but a hand on her back sending her falling in said otherwise.

'How?' she questioned coming up for air, bobbing in the water.

'I'm better than you.' Sera said simply, walking into the temple the water dripping off her naked body as she moved. A woman watched with distaste, Seraphina Lannister was not no one, a woman pulled herself up. Seraphina Lannister was not better than her.
